[DEV] Google Play Edition Boot/System.Img + CWM Nandroid - 1.16.1700.16 - One (M8) Android Development

So here it is! The System and Boot Images from the GPE M8 Also a CWM Nandroid of the system and Boot.
Other devs feel free to use this as your base just give proper credit to myself and @pasker17 because without his device, time and patience this wouldn't have happened (well it would have but it happened NOW! hehe) So make sure you thank him!
DO NOT MIRROR
System.img and Boot.img from the M8 Google Play Edition It is unmodified/unrooted:

Use Phil's CWM in the Original Dev Section. I haven't tested it with TWRP and it probably wont work in twrp

I don't think it will. I only tested it with CWM

Hell yeah!!!! Thank you!

I think the system image upload got messed up. Can anyone test it from the DL? I have another one I just pulled incase the upload did get messed up.

I did works perfect, only thing is that system write protection is enabled, and the current module for sense roms does not load on the GPE.

Looks like the system image might have been borked when it uploaded. I'm uploading a new one now

T-Mobile Note Nandroid T879UVLG3 08/8/2012

Thread No Longer Relevant, Thread Close Request.
Android Revolution said:
Well what do we have here?
This is the eagerly awaited nandroid of the latest update for the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note (SGH-T879)
This update is available OTA or manually through Kies, however, most people have not been able to install the update.
Here are the details of the update:
Improvements
Error: ‘Enter MAC address’ after entering MAC address
Weather widget does not show current location
MobileLife contacts addresses combined into a single field
This nandroid was taken from my Tmo Note on 8/14/2012 after successfully installing the OTA.
Please Note: This is only the nandroid backup for the latest TMo Note update. It does not include the new modem. I still need to pull the files and for the UVLG3 modem and will post that when I can. I'll work on two versions, one full and one with the RILs stripped.
I'll try to get that done today as well, but work comes first, so please, no ETA questions.
Disclaimer: I, or any other member of XDA, am not responsible if you brick your device. Attempt at your own risk.
I uploaded to my dropbox, mediafire may be added later.
You will need to unzip and then place the nandroid zip in your backup folder

For the Nandroid backup, just copy the unzipped folder to clockworkmod/backup. Then go into cwr and restore through the backup and restore menu.
You might be able to temp unroot with OTA Rootkeeper before doing this, I don't know for sure. I did this to get the OTA, not using a nand backup. But I would think it should work the same.
If you go that route I would play with Rootkeeper a bit to make sure it works for you, before trying it with the nand.
Otherwise, just flash the nand and reroot the normal way. Might be more time consuming, but go the safe route if you're not sure.
Remember, it's your device and money, so choose the path best for your investment and peace of mind.

I agree. I was scratching my head on that one as well. I did a factory reset and wiped my phone before doing the nandroid, so I don't think any of my personal files should be in it. I even had to set up my phone again and download all my apps again after, so not really sure why it's so large.

UPDATE
Everyone,
The nand that I updated somehow corrupted, probably between the partial upload at home and then at work. If you have already downloaded, go ahead and delete it. I am uploading a new one right now before I leave work. Should be done within the hour, as long as my upload speeds keep up.
Again, the file is corrupted (which explains the size not being correct), delete if you have downloaded.
I have updated the OP and removed the link, will repost once ready.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

[Q] CWM 6.0.4.3 taking FOREVER to backup or restore

I was trying to play around with KitKat 4.4 on my AT&T HTC One today. All the forums here said to install the very latest CWM, which is 6.0.4.3.
I did install it successfully. But compared to the old version, 6.0.4.3 takes about 30 minutes literally to back up my phone or restore.
I'm figuring I'm doing something wrong? Any ideas, hints or tips?

downloads are here:

(dont use a download manager on that site it wont work, and make sure MD5 is correct)
Twrp doesn't back up apps just system data unacceptable for me. I will try downgrading cwm. Damn updates making things worse....
I am correct about twrp right,? I've done backup/restore and ended up with only same layout settings etc but not apps

In TWRP you have the option of what to backup:
* Boot
* Cache
* Data
* Recovery
* System
(so if you want everything, you need to select all the options)
If you want to stick with CWM, 6.0.3.2 works fine (but you can't use it for 4.4 ROMs), here's a link:

I use the new cwm on 4.4 as u see xda app thinks I'm on a gt but I'm on a m919 and cwm works just super slow thanks for links I may downgrade I love that cwm backs up my APPS on top of everything else. After I restore it literally is a mirror image of right before backup. I always make backup before new mods that req root

The S4_GPE_ROOT has an older SuperSU zip file in it. Grab the latest one from chainfire as they've done updates for 4.4 recently. Just delete the one from the S4_GPE_ROOT directory and drop in the new one. The script will automagically pick it up. After that, just run the script and follow directions. That's all there is to it. Make sure you have Koush's ADB driver installed. It's included in the S4_GPE_ROOT zip.

I suppose the GE launcher from Nexus 5 isn't part of the ROM or is it?

Well think my phone is borked

I unlocked from HTC Dev, rebooted it, and got constant error messages saying Unfortunately Blinkfeed has stopped, I mean constant as in I couldnt use the phone because the message wouldn't go away. So I rebooted again, and now it is stuck on the white htc ONE screen. Held power button down for 5 minutes and it won't reboot. Guess I'll have to wait until the power dies, try to reboot into recovery and do a factory wipe, assuming the LCD doesn't have a burn in by then.
Well got it to reboot into recovery, did a factory reset, same issue. Only white logo, so I did a wipe, guess I accidently wiped the OS, because now it says no OS installed. Going to see if I can return it at best buy, since it seems no one has a sprint rom yet and I have no phone...

As far as rebooting your phone with the power button, I believe it's now done with power+volume up. Try that and see if you have any luck. It'll at least get you back to the bootloader and let you power off your phone for the time being.

Pretty Easy.
1. Go into recovery
2. Perform a backup
3. Look at were the backup is, it should be something like SDCard:/TWRP/BACKUPS/Fa0914015051/ (Fa394052) I think is random per phone.
4. put unzipped folder in the Fa9030492409325 folder
5. go to restore then you will find the folder. It can be named anything as long as it is in that folder on the SD card.

[LG-H901] Stock .img Files (Boot, System, and Recovery)

These are stock .img files that we pulled once TWRP got booted. If you break something (like flashing TWRP incorrectly), you can use these to restore it.
boot.img - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5fMrmukgO0NcVdKYzczRFBBSlk/view?usp=sharing
recovery.img - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5fMrmukgO0NUTUtdXdVZTM5MGs/view?usp=sharing
system.img - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5fMrmukgO0NcTYxVHhkSkxfelk/view?usp=sharing
For a flashable zip of the img's: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/development/lg-h901-stock-images-device-restore-t3241170
If you're having trouble flashing system.img because of file size (you will). Move it to the /sdcard folder on your phone however you want (simply drag it over to storage), then in adb shell, "dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system" or simply use TWRP.
Flashing these would be the same as you would on the nexus right? I.e fastboot flash system system.img

Make sure you have the newest fastboot binary or it won't flash the system.img
Newest fastboot binary?

Mine wouldn't flash it. So I was told to put the system.img in /sdcard, then adb shell (I did it while in TWRP), then "dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system" let it run. Reboot.

Yea, that'll work. You can make a flashable zip that'll do the same thing.
I lost a lot of system apps after unlocking my bootloader (still don't know how) including lg smart world and the one that enables screenshot in navigation bar. I was wondering if flashing the system img will restore them and would it relock my bootloader?

As you were resetting up the phone, lg should have showed you the list of uninstalled LG apps...it ALWAYS does, but I know it is easy to skip over them as well when setting the phone. There should be another way even after, will edit this post once I set up my phone again.
But to answer your main post, flashing the system.img wont bring it back because the phone will still see them as uninstalled. You just have to reinstall them from the lg app list

I froze a few apps then when i noticed it i unfroze them and still nothing. After a factory reset it was back to normal so not sure if that had something to do with it.

Cool sounds like you got it back up and running. I straight up deleted the bloats. My motto is, if it doesn't have an icon (i use rom toolbox pro) leave it alone. Lol.
